His eyes got huge. "Wow. Like, actual vampires?" It seemed crazy, but if everyone else believed in crazy and he didn't then maybe that actually made him the crazy one here.
"Uh, yeah, nothing like that where I'm from. The scariest thing we have to deal with are the gang-bangers." He never would have thought of his circumstances as lucky before. Not with his shitty parents and shitty neighborhood and shitty school. But at least they didn't have vampires or demons, so he guessed that was something.
"So, does she still fight vampires here, or was that just back at home?" Because if there were vampires and demons here that was definitely going to make him re-evaluate this seemingly idyllic but boring little town.
